Update: We need help testing v3.17 (it's only a few weeks away)

@CrazyHappyGame what’s the issue? Could you please describe it in more detail? I will ask @drelaptop help to check it. Thanks.

CrazyHappyGame · January 5, 2018, 8:25am

It fails for i.e.
cocos gen-libs -p android -m release --ap android-15 --app-abi armeabi-v7a
We do not know how to use Android gen-libs

@zhangxm in my previous post I described all problems 1,2,3,4. Very strange why you asking which problems…

However, it is obvious that prebuilt feature is ignored. @CrazyHappyGame I think only if someone else, who know android very good, like @mozartalouis, will do this and save the world of prebuilt’s

mozartalouis · January 9, 2018, 7:58pm

Let me take a look at how we can improve and make sure everything is working as expected. I’ll get back by tonight my time.

One thing I will say is that I will try to find a solution that works through android studio since from what I’ve heard, cocos console will be deprecated soon.

@zhangxm @slackmoehrle Correct me if I am wrong about coocs console being deprecated

slackmoehrle · January 9, 2018, 8:24pm

I don’t think cocos console is being deprecated. I think what you might mean is that Android development via the command-line has been deprecated and now proj.android is an Android Studio project.

anon98020523 · January 9, 2018, 8:58pm

@mozartalouis A bit updates - https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/pull/18154

So [CMake] One build system to rule them all. Because cross-platform libs need cross-platform build systems for prebuilts I hope cmake will be used in near future…

slackmoehrle · April 22, 2018, 3:58pm

Update: V3.17 is a few weeks away.

CrazyHappyGame · April 24, 2018, 6:24pm

It seems, that you can’t use two ABIs in one command. Your error tries to find a weird folder.

slackmoehrle · April 24, 2018, 7:55pm

You are correct. building for just one works for me.

CrazyHappyGame · April 24, 2018, 8:10pm

It seems like incorrect version is compiled: I see “debug” but there is option “-m release”

slackmoehrle · April 24, 2018, 8:52pm

Have you created any GitHub issues for this yet?

CrazyHappyGame · April 24, 2018, 8:55pm

@slackmoehrle Are you sure that:

you are running “cocos gen-libs -p android -m release --ap android-15 --app-abi armeabi-v7a:x86”. With -m release
you have latest cocos2d-x with latest tools/cocos2d-console?
you have latest ndk-16b

I just cloned latest cocos2d-x in clean environment and have following error

g:\cocos_latest\subrepos\repos>cocos gen-libs -p android -m release --ap android-15 --app-abi armeabi-v7a:x86
running: 'g:\cocos_latest\subrepos\external\cocos2d-x\tools/cocos2d-console/bin\cocos.bat compile -s g:\cocos_latest\subrepos\external\cocos2d-x\tests/cpp-empty-test -p android --mode release --app-abi armeabi-v7a:x86 --ap android-15'

Building mode: release

Please input the absolute/relative path of '.keystore' file:

without “-m release” I have similar error to your:
“cocos gen-libs -p android -m release --ap android-15 --app-abi armeabi-v7a:x86”
…

Move apk to g:\repos\cocos2d-x\tests\cpp-empty-test\bin\debug\android

slackmoehrle · April 24, 2018, 8:58pm

@CrazyHappyGame

Yes.

Yes

I am using Android-22, not Android-15, however

CrazyHappyGame · April 24, 2018, 9:56pm

@slackmoehrle Below prove that in clean env (CI Linux/Windows VM) it fails:

https://travis-ci.org/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/jobs/370779819
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/minggo/cocos2d-x/build/job/ewmuivdbc3dtpydt

slackmoehrle · April 24, 2018, 10:28pm

It might fail with Android-15, but it doesn’t fail for Android-22. But we should still probably fix.

CrazyHappyGame · April 25, 2018, 5:22am

It fails with android-22 (and any other android api) on my clean PC and in our Linux/Windows CI. Please check the same pull request:
https://travis-ci.org/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/jobs/370900161
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/minggo/cocos2d-x/build/1.0.952/job/9k9lrojd3la45u58
I will check macOS in few hours …

mars3142 · April 25, 2018, 5:33am

The error message is “Please input the absolute/relative path of ‘.keystore’ file:” You should check the gradle.properties file in the proj.android folder.

CrazyHappyGame · April 25, 2018, 5:42am

@mars3142 I know how to fix such kind of error for my game.
But below command should just create cocos2d-x prebuild version. I do not understand why right now we build “cocos2d-x/tests/cpp-empty-test”. But yes, most probably gradle.properties should be updated for “cocos2d-x/tests/cpp-empty-test” to fix error in gen-libs:

cocos gen-libs -p android -m release --ap android-15 --app-abi armeabi-v7a:x86
